Brain gym exercises for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether special 'brain gym' exercises help improve movement in children with cerebral palsy. It focuses on kids with mild spasticity on one side of the body, and may help improve their daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (tight muscles on one side of the body)
- Muscle stiffness must be mild (a score of 1 or 1+ on the modified Ashworth scale)
- Your child must be between 6 and 8 years old
- Your child should be at GMFCS levels I or II, meaning they can walk independently or with some help
- No Botox injections or surgery in the last 6 months
- No severe vision or hearing problems, and no severe intellectual disability (IQ under 65)

This trial tests a special exercise program that combines strength training with resistance for children and teens with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps improve movement, strength, and daily function.
This study compares three ways to help children with cerebral palsy improve movement: playing active video games with biofeedback, playing active video games alone, or doing standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach works best and is most engaging for kids.
This study tests a therapy that combines thinking, sensing, and movement exercises for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to improve motor skills and daily function.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help children with cerebral palsy. The exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles used for breathing and may improve their overall health.
This study tests whether arm or leg exercises with a special band that partly blocks blood flow, combined with strength training, can improve muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy. It is designed for young children who have some stiffness on one side and can walk with support.
This study looks at whether a specific type of exercise called functional progressive resistive training can improve movement and strength in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It might help your child gain better control and ability in daily activities.
